Paisley Canal railway station is a railway station in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and lies on the Paisley Canal Line.

History

The original station was opened on 1 July 1885 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway,Butt, page 180] situated on a loop line to Elderslie Junction due to congestion on the line through Paisley Gilmour Street. Following closure of the Dalry and North Johnstone Line and the Greenock Princess Pier Line in 1966, local services through Paisley Canal continued through to Kilmacolm, with the occasional boat train to Ardrossan Harbour. In the latter years the Kilmacolm service finished at 7pm. At some point the station buildings taken out of use and an over-line booking office was built at the Causeyside Street end of the platforms.

The station closed to passengers on 10 January 1983, however seven years later a new train service was commenced on 28 July 1990. As the original station site had been sold and the platforms filled in, a new platform to the east of the Causeyside Street overbridge was constructed within the railway cutting.
